I may. I'll stand by my 2nd point though.

I'd have to watch it back, but I'm sure you wouldn't lie to me.

you spend so much time on our forum trying to get your little wigan bias under our radar with your futile gibes . why not start a campaign on the goon site
entitled " Shouldnt the worlds undisputed greatest club have a ground of our own" we could all do with the rest from your rantings

Quick rule check: Assuming they were, does the fact that the ball had bounced in field rather than being on the full affect the outcome decision?

Oh yes he would. He can't bear the fact that we are STILL above Wigan in the league table.

I've watched that match twice. And it is quite clear that Whiting gets the ball then one foot goes on the touchline followed quickly by the other. The touchie put up his flag and the correct decision was made. It was quite clear to everyone with eyesight and a TV screen, except Rogues. Who probably needs to go to Specsavers. But it's ok, because he's old enough for a free prescription.

However, we are still owed a set of six.

I realise that, there's just something that doesn't seem to flow right with that situaion for me.

Prob not, but despite all the hoo-harr, its not a 100% cut and dry desicion.
We've been on the end of plenty of dubious refs calls, as well as getting some our way. Its just part of the game. As clarky said, that just gets the headlines because it was right at the end.

You need to change your tv or specs. The ball is still at head height and Whitings left foot is on the line (the front part is actually over) By the time he catches it both feet are on the line.

Bye Rogues.

It was the correct decision IMO.

O

I was definatley the wrong decision, no two ways about it.

I mentioned this one. SOmeone told me that the ball had bounced so it did not count???

A friend called me tonight and he said he would check with a referee he knows to see if that is true. There is no doubt however that Whitings feet were on the line when he caught the ball.

The other school of thought is that the rule was changed a few years ago to prevent players just straddling the line and scooping the ball out and claiming the advantage. That maybe the reason for Saints head and feed.

I'll post on here if he gets back to me.

I think they changed the straddling the line rule, but if Whiting did have both feet out and that means it should have been their ball it's an acceptable error. It's a hard thing to see and not the same as them missing 45 degree forward passes every week.

He didn't. Saw it AGAIN on the tries show. One foot and then the other. Ball was in hand. The decision was right.

His feet were on the line when he caught the ball. If you have still got it on sky+ freeze frame it.
